PRIMARY STUDY
Antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of two standardized extracts from a new Chinese accession of non-psychotropic Cannabis sativa L
Key Findings: Extract 1 contained a high content of cannabidivarinic acid (CBDVA) and tetraydrocannabivarinic acid (THCVA). Extract 2 contained a high content of cannabidivarin (CBDV) and tetraydrocannabivarin (THCV).
